Seasonal Changes Lesson Plans From Scholastic - The activities in this theme unit take advantage of opportunities for students to practice observation and description skills, as well as extending students' experience into other curricular areas, such as language arts and art. http://teacher.scholastic.com/lessonrepro/k_2theme/seasons.htm
Weather Wiz Kids- this is a website especially for kids to allow them to learn more about the fascinating world of weather. It’s also a wonderful educational website for teachers and parents to give them the right tools to explain the different types of weather to children. http://teacher.scholastic.com/lessonrepro/k_2theme/seasons.htm
Eye on the Sky- the scientist (your student) is asked to enter weather observations. Based on the entries, a summary of conditions is compiled (a quick fun game that will be fun for an individual student to try). http://cse.ssl.berkeley.edu/first/EyeontheSkyWeatherJournal/
